Looks like the BRICS will have their own development bank! It'll end up just like the Vatican Bank!
Jul 16th, 2014 - 06:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0You have to laugh. The ink it not dry on the contract and the money hasn't been deposited in this new 'emergency reserve fund' but Kicillof and CFK are flying to Brazil to be the first in line to beg for money.
Jul 16th, 2014 - 06:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Bom Dia Elaine. You are quite correct.
Jul 16th, 2014 - 07:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Here in Fortaleza where the BRICS conference is underway, the announcement of the BRICs BANK is major news and received well.
The fact that it will be located in Shanghai was probably decided upon during President Dilma's last business trip there. Still, it remains a future project.
The Argentines are perceived as acting as though they are already members. They aren't, and have also been told they won't be at the moment, and will have no access to the BRICS emergency funds. They would love to get their hands on all that BRICS money.
Still they come, and Washington Soares Blvd. has not seen so many red flashing lights before with all the attendees' entourage.
Regarding the outcome of the Copa, and Putin's announcement to them regarding BRICS membership, the refrain here is the same comment. I will translate it thusly:
“ Os argentinos mereceram. ” The Argentines got what they deserved.
@8 Thanks for that. It takes a special kind of abstract thinking from CFK to believe she is already in the club when Argentina has nothing to bring to BRICS. Maybe it was the blow to the head that has her confused.
Jul 16th, 2014 - 07:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Talking of which, did she really say this to Higuaín: “I would recommend that you get a CT Scan in a week because that knee you took to the head yesterday… brother… that kick and punch to the head…. it happened to me and… God forbid it happens to you. But yeah, get a medical team to check you out because they hit you hard.” I am sure something is lost in translation………

It must have been the blow to her head that did it. :o)
Pity it wasn't fatal.
Yet another 'bank' for some club or other: what happened to Chubby's 'Bank of the South'?
@10 We know she hit her head but I thought she tripped over her grandson's toy not 'that kick and punch to the head…. it happened to me'… ah well.
Jul 16th, 2014 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Loving Eric Boole's 'Countdown to Default' over on bubblear.com. For people that don't like posting and clicking links, a couple of extracts:
Chinese Premier Xi Jinping arrives in Buenos Aires on Friday evening following a summit ( of socialist world leaders that can’t let go of the fact that someone devised an over-optimistic and now outdated acronym for their economies) between the heads of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa that Argentine representatives will also participate in today and tomorrow on behalf of UNASUR (Union of South America).
Wait how did Argentina make that guest list?!
etc.
What? Argentina is representing UNASUR?
Jul 16th, 2014 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is this some sort of joke? CFK is representing the whole of UNASUR?
Do they know?

The principle of banking and lending is the same, call it US, IMF, WB, BRIC bank or China, the lender will want a return for the money it lends, and will inquire in the capacity that the country has to pay back its loans.
Jul 16th, 2014 - 03:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is lying about the capacity to pay back its loans with false statistics like GDP numbers, export numbers or investment numbers.
Anyway BRIC will lend 3.4 Bn per year in USD and from 2016 onwards. WB lends over 60 Bn.
CFK wont get those loans..................Thank God for it!
Some one, ChrisR, I think, mentioned the Chavez inspired Bank of the South in relation to this.
Jul 16th, 2014 - 03:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apparently it does still exist as a legal entity, just not in any other form. Depending on which sources one goes by, Cristina pledged either USD 4 Billion or USD 7 billion as part of the set up fund.
Nothing so far. Guess she just forgot. As you do. ..
@13 Yes, I love the humour there. It is not anti-Argentine. To use their blurb “Our mission is to provide you with a distinctive, no-bullshit approach to the facts” and “It’s reality –news– taken with a big, cynical grain of salt”.
Jul 16th, 2014 - 04:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good luck to BICS. Little developing countries. Who would think of including a belligerent, colonialist, genocidal, imperialist, larcenous, mendacious, torturing, vicious place like Russia. Obliterate argieland and then obliterate Russia. Make the whole world a better place!
